An
Internet-based project can become more meaningful if the content spans
many different curriculum areas. When possible, teachers should include
ideas for multi-disciplinary connections or lessons.

Example

Students
using the Musical Plates project
learn how and where earthquakes occur. A
language
arts and social studies component is provided so they can research
historical earthquakes and learn how different communities responded to
these earthquakes. They can also keep abreast of current events and report
on recent earthquakes.

Questions

Consider
these questions as you review your project.

What
lessons or activities can you incorporate into the project you have selected
to make it multi-disciplinary? Consider science, math, language arts, social
studies or other curriculum areas.
